Q: is the loss of resolution caused by lack of phase correction less noticeable at lower mags? In other words, at low enough magnifications, does phase correction become unnecessary (no noticeable benefit?)?




My experience with 8X32, 10X42 and 12X50 Roof Prism is Phase Coating does make a difference if it's well executed. Image is brighter, colors more vivid. However, having PC by itself doesn't mean superior resolution. The pair of Eagle Optics 10X42 Denali I purchased showed dimmer image than my EO Platimum 8X32, poor resolution. I wouldn't want a pair even if they were selling for 1/2 the $189 asking price.
